Jesus Film

With 6 operating rooms the Africa Mercy has enabled Mercy Ships to greatly increase the amount of medical help we can offer to Western Africa. To staff the OR's and ward more and more beds onboard have to be given over to the nurses, doctors, surgeons and support staff who make this amazing work possible. In the early days of Mercy Ships there were teams onboard the ships whose full time job was to evangelise local communities using drama, puppets, music and of course, preaching (anyone remember Crosstide and Lazarus?). Now the focus is slightly different though the emphasis on the 'two hands of the gospel' is still as strong. However some outreach activities such as the 'Jesus Film' have remained. Each week the film is shown from the back of a Land Rover in local communities at the invitation of partnering churches and pastors. Christ is still being preached through our actions, our love and where necessary our technology.
